Already in 2016, Proton Motor offered an individually developed HyRange® hydrogen fuel cell system to Austrian automotive contract maker Magna Steyr for a new hybrid car. This is referred to as the Fuel Cell Range Extended Electric Vehicle, or FC REEV (pictured). Unlike a normal hybrid engine, which is powered by a combination of gasoline or diesel and electricity, the FC REEV type is powered by both electricity and hydrogen, resulting in a ZERO-EMISSION hybrid drive. Since 2019, the HyRange® drive solution for E-Trucks Europe has been developed for integration into garbage collecting vehicles, including as part of the EU-funded…

Madrid will have for the first time a hydrogen fuel cell-powered cab. The chosen one is the Toyota Mirai, which already has the authorization of the City Council of the capital to provide service. With this decision, Madrid opens its cabs to a third way of sustainability after the hybrid propulsion (embodied in the Toyota Prius and Corolla) and electric (from the hand of the Nissan Leaf). The technical sheet issued by the Government Area of Environment and Mobility includes the characteristics to be met by the Mirai acquired for this task, such as the shade of white to be…

Petrofac, a renowned international service supplier to the energy industry, has secured its first renewable energy project in Egypt through a joint venture with Egypt-focused Mediterranean Energy Partners (MEP). The project is a feasibility study for a new green hydrogen to ammonia plant that will produce 125,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year for export using a combination of solar and wind energy. Petrofac’s scope will be critical to the project’s success, since it will entail sizing the electrolysers and determining the viability of export facilities at the Gulf of Suez’s Ain Sokhna Port. Alex Haynes, Head of Business Development,…

SVEVIND Energy has signed a contract with ILF to procure, in collaboration with a partner, a concept design study for a 20 GW green hydrogen facility in Western Kazakhstan’s Mangystau region. SVEVIND plans to build a 30 GW wind and solar photovoltaic farm in the Mangystau region that will power a 20 GW water electrolysis industrial complex that will produce approximately 2 million tons of green hydrogen per year starting in 2030 to supply the Eurasian and Kazakh domestic markets. The creation of the concept design is an additional critical step in the project’s development. The Mangystau region is the…

FlyZero, the UK-based study into zero-carbon commercial air travel, has released its vision for a new generation of liquid hydrogen-powered aircraft. The report “Our Vision for Zero-Carbon Air Travel” concludes a 12-month study that examined the feasibility of zero-carbon aircraft. Aviation can achieve net zero emissions by 2050, the project concludes, through the development of both sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and green liquid hydrogen technologies. To maintain a competitive edge in the market for new hydrogen-powered aircraft, UK firms must be prepared to demonstrate technologies by 2025. This timeframe is critical for new zero-carbon aircraft to enter service by 2035…

GAUSSIN unveils the world’s first hydrogen-fueled Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV H2) for seaports. Following the introduction of the hydrogen-powered fuel cell ATM and APM, these new vehicles expand GAUSSIN’s line of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The AGV is capable of operating autonomously in no-infrastructure and mixed-traffic environments. It will assist port operators in immediately transitioning to zero-emission operations, allowing for extended operating hours, shorter and less frequent refueling, as well as quiet and efficient transportation. GAUSSIN’s supplementary solution for port operators is state-of-the-art. Historically, ports have relied on diesel-powered trucks and tractors operating in cluster environments to transport cargo to and from…
